A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

"Sister Meng, did the zombies make way for you just now?"

Several humans stood in a row, looking anxious; they were practically rubbing their hands together like flies.

Meng Xiaoyou glanced back at the zombies surrounding her, then at Gu Jianguo and the others, and nodded: "That's right, isn't that what we should do? How can I get in if we don't make way?"

The group exchanged glances, as if they had grasped a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Do you know what zombies are? Why are they capturing us? Is there any way to escape?"

The humans in the zombie stronghold turned into a walking encyclopedia of questions, chattering away. Little Mushroom, quick as a flash, took two steps back, her pretty face full of disgust: "Don't spit on me."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Turning around, they saw the big boss's face was grim. He put down his book, walked over, washed the little girl with his water powers, placed her behind him, and instructed, "Don't go near them, they're dirty."

"Mmm." It was indeed quite dirty; Meng Xiaoyou had just seen it all. Their saliva was spraying high into the air. If she hadn't dodged quickly...

what……

hiss!

Mushroom had caught Pei Sinian's germaphobia; just thinking about the scene made her uncomfortable. She rubbed her arms and let out a long sigh: "Luckily, I didn't get sprayed."

The disliked crowd: "..." Numb!

With so many zombies outside, who cares about spit? They don't really understand the world of the big shots.

The crowd disregarded everything else and begged Pei Sinian to find a way to escape.

Pei Sinian pushed Meng Xiaoyou behind him to hide the mushrooms well before coldly addressing the others: "I'm the one who had the zombies capture you."

"what???"

"Arrest? Arrest us?"

"Boss, are you kidding me? Even if you're powerful, you might not be able to control this many zombies. This isn't just a zombie horde, it's a zombie horde! Are all the zombies in City B here?"

The humans chattered amongst themselves, but when they saw the man's handsome face, which remained expressionless, they suddenly fell silent, their hearts skipping a beat.

"B-Boss, why are you arresting us?"

"Who is studying architecture?"

A young man in his early twenties trembled in the crowd: "I..."

Really?

Pei Sinian nodded: "Sheng Jingxing, take him down to work."

The zombie horde rippled again, and a man in red floated in, baring his teeth at the young man: "Relax, we're zombies, we have good teeth, it's very satisfying to eat people."

The young man shuddered, rolled his eyes, and was then airlifted away by Sheng Jingxing.

As the leader, Gu Jianguo couldn't ignore it, so he mustered his courage and asked, "Boss, what's going on? Where are you taking him?"

“I won’t kill him. I need manpower to build the houses. As for you…” Pei Sinian glanced at him indifferently: “Go back and tell the humans at Zhongyu Base that if they don’t want to die, they should hand over the researchers at Zhongyu Base. After they hand them over, I will guarantee the lives of the humans at the base. Otherwise… there’s no need for Zhongyu Base to exist.”

He raised his hand, and several zombies came in and dragged the humans away.

Even after getting back into the car, Gu Jianguo and the others were still in a daze, not quite understanding the situation. It wasn't until they returned to the base that they learned about the major events that had occurred in the past few months.

The research institute was conducting human experiments, and after being discovered, they claimed that capturing a zombie named Pei Sinian could bring hope to humanity.

The man they had met a few times turned out to be a zombie?

Upon learning the truth, they felt a chill run down their spines, and all their questions suddenly became answered.

They pieced together the story and realized why so many strange things happened when they first met Pei Sinian, why the zombies didn't attack him after he joined their convoy, and why Pei Sinian captured a baby zombie and treated its mother so specially.

It turns out they are a family of three.

Gu Jianguo boldly imagined that the zombie mother was running ahead with the baby, and the zombie father was chasing behind. She escaped, he chased, and they couldn't escape. In the end, they achieved a perfect ending, and the whole family was together. There was no such thing as the mother who took the child by force.

Wow, is this the new trend for zombies these days?

Oh right, that's not the point. The point is that when they brought this news to the base, it caused quite a stir.

The bases had long been aware of the zombie horde, but they didn't have many firearms at their disposal. Using superpowers would be even less effective against so many zombies, since they were insensitive to pain, possessed superpowers, and were numerous.

The culprit behind the zombie horde was none other than Pei Sinian.

The situation reached a stalemate. Academician Rong wanted Pei Sinian to be a test subject and ordered all of humanity to capture him. Who would have thought that the despicable and cunning zombie would turn around and lead a zombie army to attack?

Let alone capturing Pei Sinian, saving their own lives is the most important thing. If the two sides fight, the zombies will die, and that's it. They will definitely be the ones who suffer.

Zhongyu Base hurriedly tried to contact other bases, including those in City B, but still couldn't match their numbers. They wanted to ask for outside help, but the zombies had surrounded all their escape routes.

The entire population of City B is gripped by fear, as the culprit behind it all is leisurely building their own zombie kingdom.

They think they can take advantage of the fact that there are more humans, huh? They have more zombies too.

Pei Sinian's previous indifference does not mean he lacked the ability.

He intends to repay humanity in its despicable way; they will not be allowed to leave City B until they hand over Academician Rong.

He has plenty of time to waste on them.

However, he encountered a problem. He pressed down on the head of a disobedient little mushroom and pushed it away, saying, "Don't peek."

Without being watched for a second, the silly mushroom came up and peeked at his book.

Seeing nothing, the mushroom was practically dying of curiosity, circling around him, pleading, "Can I see it? Just one glimpse? Please?"

"You've been reading all the time lately and haven't been talking to me at all!"

"Is a book as interesting as me?" Meng Xiaoyou's tone suddenly changed, her soft voice rising abruptly: "Are you looking at other mushrooms in the book?"

Pei Sinian held the book. "Hmm, it's a recipe book. He's researching how to stir-fry mushrooms."

Meng Xiaoyou: "???"

She instantly became docile, trembling as she tugged at his sleeve and gently shook it: "Stop looking, okay? Mushrooms aren't very tasty. Go eat the green beans next door, they're delicious! I'll grow some for you to try in a couple of days~"

"I don't eat food." Mr. Zombie said calmly, unmoved by any offer of food.

The little mushroom frowned in anger: "Then how do you eat mushrooms?"

"You don't understand now, but you will in the future."

With a mysterious air, Meng Xiaoyou snorted, "I don't care anymore. I'm leaving. I'm going to improve my abilities on other zombies. I'm not going to play with you, you spoilsport zombie."

She came in a flurry, carrying a shovel, and left just as quickly, oblivious to the flickering light in Mr. Zombie's deep eyes. He stared at the direction she had left for a long time, then tapped the book lightly twice with his hand on it.

After studying for a while longer, you can put it into practice.
